Chapter 548 - 548 534 Guo Yuyun Learns About the Wastelands

Chapter 548: Chapter 534: Guo Yuyun Learns About the Wastelands Chapter 548: Chapter 534: Guo Yuyun Learns About the Wastelands Since the Red Demonic Spirit locked up Guo Yuyun and gave her a tongue-lashing, it was as if she had been scolded awake. She suddenly seemed full of life. Although she hadn’t forgotten Ye Chen, she no longer drowned her sorrows in alcohol like before. She had become much gentler and, although she was still gloomy overall, she would at least not harm her own body in her despair.

Now she would occasionally space out, but it was clear she was much better, seemingly accepting her situation, which was a positive sign.

Suddenly, He Xibai ran in, shouting, “This is bad.”

It had been a long time since she had been in such a chaotic state.

She had not yet fully digested the defeat in the Immortal-Demon Realm yesterday. She was still thinking about what her sister would do if Su Zhanze really died. Should she go to Immortal City and see her? Her sister must be extremely upset. Guo Yuyun felt a headache coming on.

“Did someone assault you again?” Guo Yuyun asked.

The Red Demonic Spirit, slithering around like a snake, chuckled.

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

“Or else why would you panic as if you’ve seen a ghost.”

He Xibai shouted, “There was an incident in the Wastelands.”

During this period, they had stayed in their own courtyards without venturing outside, as if they had severed ties with the outside world. He Xibai was the only one responsible for relaying news.

“What happened?” Guo Yuyun asked casually, her mind drifting to Ye Chen. But she would not leap to her feet anymore. Although she had accepted reality, she had started to despise him increasingly.

Especially when she heard about Ye Chen’s plans to marry officially, her heart was completely shattered.

He Xibai brewed two cups of tea and said, “Longhun, leading the Dragon Slaying Clan, secretly infiltrated the Wastelands. They joined forces with Yuan Menhai of the Third Demon. On the day when Ye Chen was going to marry Ling’er, Yuan Menhai came to Tianle City to challenge him. Ye Chen took his people to Tianle City, Yuan Menhai challenged the New City Sect to a fight, and the New City Sect accepted.

But the New City Sect did not know that it was a trap. During the decisive battle with the Third Demon, the men from Longhun suddenly appeared to assist, causing the New City Sect to be defeated. Tianle City fell, and while Ye Chen and his men prepared to flee back to Wasteland City, they were ambushed midway and almost encircled.

After escaping the ambush, they returned to Wasteland City only to find that it had been broken through by the combined forces of the Dragon Slaying Clan and the Third Demon. Wasteland City was reduced to a sea of fire. Ling’er was supposedly unable to escape and was hit by a collapsing pillar.”

Guo Yuyun stood up, her head throbbing, she shouted, “What did you say?”

“Ling’er is dead, but Ye Chen is fine.”

Guo Yuyun’s breathing was hurried as she yelled, “How is this possible? How could the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan have infiltrated the Wastelands so quickly?” She had just heard that Longhun had defeated the Immortal-Demon Realm on Dragon Slayer Island.

“It’s true; many of us don’t believe it either, but it indeed happened. The New City Sect is now left with very few disciples. The Third Demon is hunting them down, and the people from the New City Sect have fled into the darkness.”

“Where did you hear this from?” Guo Yuyun was stupefied.

“Everyone is saying this.”

“I have to go find my father.” Guo Yuyun had a serious expression and couldn’t believe that all of this was true. She hurriedly ran out of the courtyard.

The Red Demonic Spirit was also taken aback and asked, “Did your brain get soaked?”

“Your brain has gotten soaked, what would I gain from claiming someone is dead for no reason?”

The Red Demonic Spirit also couldn’t believe it, saying, “That can’t be possible.”

“Apparently a large group of Winged Dragons had rushed to Wasteland City and the defenders couldn’t resist it at all. Houses collapsed, and Ling’er couldn’t escape because of her hurt foot.”

“That monkey must be going crazy.” The Red Demonic Spirit hardly dared to believe it.

He Xibai shook her head and said, “How could something like this happen? Also, I heard that the person named Longhun is Ye Chen’s biological brother.”

“Who told you that nonsense?” the Red Demonic Spirit hollered.

“Everyone is saying that. I’m not sure if it’s true or false, but they say that Ye Chen’s mother gave birth to twins. Ye Chen is the older brother, and Longhun is the younger brother. Ye Chen took his mother’s surname, and at the time, the Mutant Winged Dragon wanted to kidnap both children, but he only managed to kidnap Longhun. Ye Xue protected Ye Chen, so he was not kidnapped.”

The Red Demonic Spirit immediately yelled, “That’s nonsense! Ye Chen has never mentioned having a brother.”

“Hee hee, perhaps he doesn’t even know it himself. His mother didn’t even tell him who his father was and even had him take her surname. You think his mother would tell him?”

The Red Demonic Spirit glanced at He Xibai, feeling that there was some sense in what she said. Shaking her head, she said, “If this is the case, then the blow to Ye Chen is great.”

He Xibai fell silent for a while before saying, “Yeah, before they could even have their wedding night, an incident happened in Tianle City. It was their last time seeing each other, and it was his own blood brother who caused Ling’er’s death. After fighting one biological father to death, another biological brother appears, who could handle it?” She heard from Yun’er that Ye Chen had not intended to kill his own father, but Mutant Winged Dragon was killed by Su Zhanze instead.

The Red Demonic Spirit shook her head.

“I really don’t know what’s happening to the world, to torment a person like this, what is considered cruel?”

The Red Demonic Spirit chuckled coldly.

“Just thinking about it gives me a headache,” said He Xibai.

“This matter, personally, I don’t think it’s that simple.”

“What do you mean?”

“After defeating the Fairy Demon World, Longhun headed off to the Wastelands to confront the New City Sect. It was like a seamless handover that left no room for guesswork. With the annihilation of the New City Sect, what will happen next?”

When He Xibai heard these words, he was taken aback and asked in return, “Do you think they might target the Fairy Demon World next?”

“The extermination of the New City Sect serves a purpose of revenge and also to eliminate any potential threat from the Fairy Demon World.”

“That can’t be true. Although they did employ the Sea Demon to defeat the Fairy Demon World on Dragon Slayer Island, the Demon Palace City remained neutral throughout. The damage inflicted on the Immortal City Sect was minimal. Despite their heavy losses during the Battle of Demon Palace City, they gained victory in the Dragon Slayer Island, but only by using the Sea Demon. They might not necessarily have won without it.”

“Well, that’s debatable. Perhaps they have secured control over the Sea Demon, something akin to the previous manipulations of the Demon God, used to draw in the Central Plains to confront the Fairy Demon World.”

“Can’t be, I heard from the disciples of the Fairy Demon World that the Sea Demon was rampantly killing anyone in sight, whether they were from the Fairy Demon World or the Dragon Slaying Clan. This suggests they cannot control the Sea Demon.”

“But they were the ones who lured the Sea Demon to Dragon Slayer Island. While a number of Dragon Slaying Clan members died in the process, it might have been an intentional act of manipulation. Think about it, it’s said that Shi Yin Zun was murdered by someone from the Fairy Demon World, but no one knows who did it. Perhaps it was all a plot. Maybe the Dragon Slaying Clan can’t control the Sea Demon now, but who can guarantee they won’t be able to in the future?”

Hearing this, He Xibai fell silent, unable to respond. After a long pause, he added, “You’re implying that Shi Yin Zun was likely murdered by his own people.”

“Most likely, there’s a strong possibility that it was Longhun.”

“Why?”

The Red Demonic Spirit laughed and replied, “Isn’t it obvious? Who stands to gain the most?”

“With Shi Yin Zun’s death, Longhun would be set to inherit.”

“You see now! Remember the rumors about how Shi Yin Zun and Longhun were at loggerheads not long ago? Longhun had a motive to kill Shi Yin Zun. Once dead, he could take over everything.”

“So, we’re left only to swallow the bitter pill.”

“Indeed, we’re the ones swallowing the hard pill. No recourse for our grievances. This is just how it is.”

“This Longhun, sounds very dangerous.”

The Red Demonic Spirit laughed briefly and muttered, “How could he not be dangerous? He raided the Wastelands like a swift thunderbolt catching everyone off guard, breached Tianle City, and burned down Wasteland City. He even killed his own sister-in-law.”

Upon hearing this, He Xibai curled his lip, “Such people are highly dangerous.”

“Dangerous is an understatement — what’s more terrifying is his lack of empathy, even towards those of his own kind. Who can expect to build a relationship with such a person?” added the Red Demonic Spirit.

“I heard that it was Longhun who initially recommended the Mutant Winged Dragon to first unify the Wuji Domain, South Wasteland, and Wasteland before dealing with the Central Plains.”

“That goes to show how intelligent he is,” the Red Demonic Spirit continued, “The incidents in the Wasteland alone prove his cleverness.”

“What is it exactly?”

“While we were still in the dark about Dragon Slayer Island, he was already guiding his people to the Wasteland. Who would think the men of Dragon Slayer Island would infiltrate the Wasteland so quickly, and align themselves with the Third Demon’s minions? Ye Chen would have never suspected this. He’s a cautious man, but who could be so safe to discern this as a trap? I certainly couldn’t.”

“True, cunning and heartless foes are far scarier than common adversaries,” He Xibai conceded.

“It’s far from over. If Longhun becomes the successor, the new Island Master of Dragon Slayer Island, the de facto leader of the Dragon Slaying Clan. He didn’t even spare his own brother. Do you think he will let go of the Fairy Demon World which has defeated the Dragon Slaying Clan and killed his own father?”

“So, what should we do?”

“You should bring this up with the individuals from the Fairy Demon World.”

“We do have to be extra cautious.””It takes much more than just being cautious. Do you think Ye Chen isn’t careful?”

He Xibai looked at the Red Demonic Spirit.

“Besides caution, you also need wisdom, understand?”

He Xibai certainly did. The Fairy Demon World had been able to battle the Dragon Slaying Clan for so long, and survive countless calamities, eventually defeating the Mutant Winged Dragon. Much of these achievements were due to Ye Chen. However, now that Ye Chen had fallen victim to a scheme, He Xibai felt a cold shudder down his spine. He shook his head, wondering who could possibly stand against Longhun if he came back to the Central Plains.

“Stop daydreaming. This is not something we can meddle with.”

Still, He Xibai couldn’t help but dwell on the worsening state of affairs as he shook his head.

“It looks like we might need to leave the Demon Palace soon.”

“You’re planning to leave the Demon Palace?”

“I fear our departure might be inevitable.”

Upon hearing these cryptic words, He Xibai remained silent for a moment before understanding the implications. If Ling’er was indeed dead, how could Yun’er possibly remain idle? Ling’er’s presence was the only thing that kept Yun’er from seeking out Ye Chen. And now, with Ling’er gone…

“Looks like another tumultuous period is on its way,” the Red Demonic Spirit sighed.

“Hey, it’s not like I have a choice. Do you think I could keep this a secret from her? She’d find out sooner or later.”

“I’m not blaming you,” the Red Demonic Spirit sighed deeply before changing the subject. “Forget about all this nonsense, let’s get dinner ready. I’m starving.”
